Jane and I visited the Torridon Hotel early in 2011 when we were looking for a wedding venue. We stayed for one night and had dinner, and that was enough to convince us that this was the place we wanted to get married. The settling, the staff, the venue, the luxury rooms and the food all helped convince us that the Torridon Hotel fitted the bill. On returning home we enquired about having the wedding in Torridon and managed to secure a weekend in September 2011. We hired the hotel for the weekend and some extra rooms in the inn.
As you can imagine arranging a wedding from a distance can be tricky, however, we were delighted by the assistance Colleen and her staff gave us (ensuring that there was as little hassle and stress as possible).
From the moment we arrived Colleen, Robert and their staff (especially Tom in the Whisky Bar) were brilliant and treated family, friends and ourselves like VIPs. They were flexible to all our requirements (Singstar karaoke, child minder, Chinese lanterns and all) and really helped make the weekend a success.
The outdoor activities were also varied and a great success, and many thanks to Chris for looking after us at the clay pigeon shooting.
With regards to the hotel (or "The House" to the staff), it has 19 rooms of luxury standard, all decorated in their own fashion. The communal hall, dining room, lounge, library and whisky bar are all set out in a traditional Highland style that fits the location perfectly. The lounge was the setting for our ceremony and the staff helped make it look amazing, perfect for our unforgettable day. The Whisky bar has over 300 Whiskys and the guests & I tried to get through most of them by the time we left.
Bruno (the chef) produced top quality meals on the Friday and Saturday, and our wedding guests still talk about them now, especially as Bruno was flexible enough to draw up and provide menus for the veggie and vegan's amongst us. The meat eaters also had a typical Highland feast and returned home more than happy. The breakfasts, welcome tea and pre-wedding brunch were also top notch.
Overall, it was an unforgettable weekend and the Torridon will always be a special place for Jane & I. If you are in that neck of the woods, you would be silly not to spend at least one night there!
Room Tip: Rooms with a view of the loch are a must.
